Exhaust Manifold backpressure question
So I was playing with the BW turbo configurator and it estimates 9psi backpressure at the turbine (with boost set to 21psi), what would be considered excessive? Obviously 0 would be best but seeing as the TS housing on the 6258 and 6758 wont be happening, this is the best that can be done. With a goal of 400-450 (leaving some play in case I can't keep up at 400), the 6758 is the ideal setup for my goal if this isn't too bad..
Here's a link to the config. Edit- It also states that the wastegate is 'flow choked', I assume it's because it's of insufficient diameter, thus needing an EWG? |
How can you have less pressure on the turbine side and more pressure on the compressor side? Without more pressure on the turbine side this sounds like a magical turbo.

9psi on the turbine side. Essentially there's pressure built up in the exhaust manifold, throttled by the turbo.

Anyone I've ever spoken to says there's 1.5-2x more pressure on the turbine side than the compressor side because it takes equal or more energy to turn the compressor. I'm not an engineer, but I'm quite eager to read more on this.

With audi's antilag they were pushing air though the intake into the exhaust manifold once more pressure built up in the intake compared to the exhaust manifold |

Pretty sure that's wrong. Energy =/= pressure

Quickly looking back at some data I've collected in the past on this stuff, exhaust gas pressure varied from 1.75 to .70 of intake pressure. Lower load and low engine speed generally translated to higher exhaust/intake pressure ratio. |

This is not true and a huge overgeneralization as well, even if it was true.

of course. just sayin. |
